Tower of Time, Lord's Study. Niya sat behind the desk, constantly checking the documents on the desk about the current situation of the territory, and sometimes she would write down a few notes, some from the town office, some from the Adventurer's Guild, and some from the temple.
Through these documents, Niya firmly controls the direction of the territory, but at the moment her mind is not entirely focused on these documents.
In her mind, these words from her father when he contacted her were echoing all the time——
"It is indeed a mythical ruins. The area is not large. I will be able to search it quickly!"
"The puzzle here is a bit complicated. I need to study it further."
"The ancestors must have foreseen this place. I'm searching a few times. If I can't find the plane crystal, I will return!"
"Now I have conducted destructive experiments on the Mystery Lock. I am sure there must be something hidden here! I will study it further!"
"I will be able to find what is hidden here soon. You and Thain will discuss the Midsummer Festival celebration. If Aibo asks, I am conducting a very important research! Can't be distracted!"...Niya Yue The more worried she became, the more irritated she became, and she felt that the fonts on the documents in front of her became annoying.
With a "click" sound, Niya put down her pen and called out the tower spirit.
"Ta Ling, please come to Uncle Aibo!" Before she finished speaking, Niya quickly canceled. Since her father didn't want to tell Uncle Aibo, he must have his reasons, and Nia didn't want to violate it.
But Niya couldn't do it just sitting here and waiting. After thinking about it, she still contacted Xia Duo.
...On the other side, Daxia leads this place. This morning, he first went to the Mystery Lock to report to Lord Epps about the changes in the water element in the outside world. When he reported, Lord Epps had a dark face the whole time and his eyes were bloodshot.
After the report, Xia Duo left quickly as if he was avoiding the plague. He had pretended to dig a few shovels before, but now he didn't even pretend.
Because the state of Lord Epps has become increasingly unstable recently, like an active volcano about to erupt, Shado is no longer willing to run there.
No matter how many treasures there were in the ruins, they had to be taken with their lives. He was afraid that he would accidentally offend Lord Epps and suffer misfortune.
After returning to the camp, Chateau called over Padre Leiden, who was preparing to divide the rooms. Now, under the guidance of the carpenter slave "Paddle Carpenter", a normal wooden house that is different from the simple Datong shop has been erected to the north of the altar of the Lord of Glory.
Although it is not as long-lasting as the stone house, it can be used as a long-term residence and as a long-term residence.
"Home"! The wooden house has two rooms, one is slightly used as a warehouse, and the other is slightly larger and can also be used as a bedroom, kitchen, and living room. There is also a simple livestock shed outside, where some animals can be raised for meat in the future.
There is only a roof, which is still covered with hay. In the future, if possible, we can burn some tiles or replace it with wooden boards.
After the visit, Xia Duo felt quite satisfied, but as a habit, he still had to find faults: "Priest Leiden, it took eighty-nine years to build this wooden house! How long will it take to complete the first phase of Linshui Village plan with this efficiency? Yeah! Didn’t you only ask for seven last time?”
"Sir, the subjects and slaves are not lazy. They are just starting to work together and are not very skilled yet. The next one will not take so long." Priest Leiden believed in the Lord of Glory and explained impartially. The slaves are not degraded.
"how long?"
"After I become proficient, I can build a wooden house in four or five years. If you can give me an extra team of people, I can still improve my efficiency!" Leiden said with certainty.
The number of people currently used to build the house is a team of ten people, half citizens and half slaves, led by the carpenter Carpenter.
After this, Xia Duo also took a rough look at the steps of building a house. If a team of people builds a house, four or five times should be fine, but if it is faster - Xia Duo has a way of his own, but he wants to hear what Leiden said. !
He walked around the newly built wooden house and came to the east. In the distance, dozens of residents and slaves were cutting down trees, moving them, and cutting branches, creating a busy scene.
“Priest Leyden, if you are given an extra team of people, how can you improve efficiency?
"
"Sir, I will first ask Carpenter to make a list of the materials needed for the wooden house, and then everyone will make a large amount of materials first, and then build the wooden house last. This may be slower at the beginning, but it will save a lot of time later!"
"Huh?" Xia Duo showed a surprised expression. He wouldn't be surprised if someone from Earth came up with this method, but when it came from Leiden's mouth, he was even more surprised.
Just because he has never seen similar practices in Savile Town or even in the Tower of Time Library. This has the shadow of industrialized mass production and even involves standardization.
This kind of production method is seriously inconsistent with the backward productivity of this local area. So he asked Layton: "How did you think of it?"
"Sir, I read a book written by a craftsman in the temple library, which recorded an incident in the early days of the Tower of Time's construction, and I came up with this idea."
"What is it?"
"The main body of the Tower of Time is made of stones. At that time, there was a standard stone made by the Great Arcanist in the quarry. Only when it was the same size as the standard stone could it be transported to the construction site. Until now, the standard stone It’s still in the quarry east of Savile Town!”
"..." It seems that I should find some time to look for the books in the temple and read them. Unexpectedly, there are books on building the mage tower there.
Priest Leiden's method was very similar to Chateau's. They both made the materials for the wooden house first, but Chateau's method was more detailed and specific.
"I'll do as you ask, but I can't give more people for the time being, so let's maintain a team of people!"
"Yes, sir."
"Gather everyone together, I'm going to distribute this wooden house."
"But sir, you are still living in a camp, so how about dividing it up like this?" Layton was a little confused. Shouldn't the lord enjoy the only wooden house first?
Xia Duo glanced at him and spoke in a slightly more serious tone.
"No need to doubt, just do it and call everyone over!"
"Yes, sir." Leiden felt shocked and left in a hurry. Listen to what Layton was saying as he walked away
"My lord has something to say, don't trust the superior's decision. My lord, Leiden is guilty!" Sha Duo laughed dumbly. If his words made Leiden believe in something, it would be his fault, but he is a believer in the Lord of Glory. It’s really useful!
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to live in a formal house. In his opinion, this wooden house is still too simple. Instead of moving around, it's better to get it right in one step.
Anyway, I'm used to living in tents now. The real reason that made him send Layton away quickly was actually-Niya was looking for him!
When he came to the altar, Xia Duocai took out his communication weapon and contacted Niya.
